问题
This is a follow-up on this question, which was solved by locating the installation package on a local drive.
Unfortunately, it seems that on some machines, this doesn't solve it.
I have the following log available

But I can't really draw any useful information out of it, different from the first question where it was clear that the drive the installation package was run from is actually a network drive.
In this case though, the installation resides directly under C:\, but somehow MSI still tries to locate something in Internet Explorers cache files, which I can't wrap my head around.
What's happening here and how can I fix it?
UPDATE
After trying the command
C:\> msiexec /i myInstallation.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb
I get an error window telling me
A network error ocurred while attempting to read from the file C:\myInstallation[1].msi
How can this happen when I'm executing (and refreshing) everything from C:?
回答1:
Someone downloaded an MSI and clicked Open so the MSI was installed from the cache. This was an ephemeral location so now you are where you are.
Can you obtain a copy of this MSI from somewhere? If so, copy it to a location you want it to be cached from and run the command msiexec /i foo.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb. It will now be cached there.
There are APIs that do the same thing if you need it to be programatic.

Some Background:
Every MSI "remembers" where it was installed from. This information is stored in the keys below: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\\SourceList\Net"
Every time a MSI is repaired or modified and files are required (all other information is stored in the "c:\Windows\Installer" folder) the source list is evaluated.
Possible Solution:
In your case some user installed a MSI out of the IE cache. you could download the file again, place it somewhere more persistent and edit the SourceList Key(s).
is the product code of the msi in some kind of compressed way, the quickest way to find the right key is to flip the first 8 letters of the product code. for you that would be "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\B5035D88...\SourceList\Net"
